Overwhelmingly the winner of the Future Favorite vote on Armin van Buuren's A State of Trance, with almost three times as many votes as the second-place track, Ahmed Romel's remix of Harmonic Rush's The Dark Side of Persia is a spectacular and riveting track.
Full of epic Middle Eastern sounds, this is a perfect model of the best in oriental uplifting trance, with a tech-trancey edge to it too. The intense breakdown also has some breakbeat influence, whereas the fact that it is so short makes it easy to insert into your sets. Overall, this tune is certain to rivet listeners both on the dancefloor and off, injecting incredible energy into every mix.
Truly an indispensable piece of music for peak-time clubs, exercising, working, and anywhere else you need an powerful emotional rush of oriental energy!

Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the biggest anthems for Edge EDM is the Harmonic Rush banger The Dark Side of Persia. It is now the moment for the exceptional talent Ahmed Romel to join in and deliver his own translation. The result of his own take on the original trance classic is absolutely mouthwatering with Middle East ethnic sounds and great combination with cinematic strings and sounddesign that sounds like coming out from a Hollywood blockbuster about Middle East. Powerful headbanging euphoric trancer with excellent oriental melody that sounds really uplifting and hypnotic at the same time as it is combined with the ethnic vocals that inspire the listener and open up his music horizons to appreciate cultures from all over the world. Ahmed Romel delivers always the goods with stand out productions and this track is perfectly arranged in order to evoke certain feelings and uplift your senses to a higher level of being. Peak time trance magic that can be only #PureGold Love it
